☀️ A.M. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-10 ⭐️⭐️
1 - Now, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to be unsettled of mind nor quickly alarmed concerning the day of the LORD. Not by a spirit {trend}, a word, or even a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that it has come. {Day of judgment for man’s world and empires, the “judgment bar/seat of Christ” the consequences, namely entropy on steroids, ultimately Is.24:20/Rev.4:10, because of Rev.16:14-15-16, which is Mt.13:30 in context.}
3 Let no one deceive you! Or mislead you in any way. For that day doesn’t come, unless the rebellion [apostasia - apostasy, rebellion, defection, falling away] comes first. {Defecting from what? From the faith! It migrated after 70 CE, and again later ..given the wings of an eagle! Rev.12:6,14 - the chapter being the middle version of THREE tellings of the revelation vision — What was once called Christendom, has fallen away from the faith. An of-the-world “false prophet” has “seated man in the temple as god”/highest power, producing this next..}
And (then) the man [anthropos - man, mankind {in this case both mankind, and a man}] of lawlessness is made plain {clearly seen} [apokalýptō - from apo - away from , and kalupto - cover — take the cover off, disclose -- reveal, make known, especially the inner nature of] …{The day of the LORD, is not until} the mankind of lawlessness is seen and made plain, and (also) the son of destruction [hyiós: of like nature of apóleia: destruction, ruin, loss, perdition] 4 the opposing of, and exalting, above and against, every god {and idea of god/s?} so as to sit in the temple of God as god, as if himself [heautou - himself, herself, itself, themselves] is God. {Anthropos as highest power, aNd so also is the final a.c.}
5 Do you remember how when I was with you I told you these things? 6 And you know what is holding it back now, so it’s revealed in its time. 7 For the mystery of - lawlessness - is already at work! (1Jn, Jude, {not yet full scope. Prophecy repeats usually from ‘smaller’ scope to full scope.. Including the advents?!} But the restraining {voice?} at present (restrains) until it’s out of the midst. {There’s more than one way for a voice and influence to be removed?} 8 And theN, the lawless(ness?) [translators included “one”] will be revealed, which the Lord Jesus will destroy with the breath of his mouth {truth? and fire? cause and effect} at the manifestation of his coming [parousia - coming, presence, arrival] and will bring to nothing and annul, 9 the coming of the lawless {both lawlessness and the lawless one} which is according to the working [energeia - working, activity, power in action] of Satan, with all power [dýnamis - force, energy] and false [pseudos - untrue, false] signs and wonders {modern miracles?} 10 And with every wicked deception against those who are perishing, which love of the truth they didn’t receive the being saved [sozo - saved, rescued from destruction and brought into divine safety]. {Mt.13:30 as Rev.16:14-15-16 oR Mt.25:1-13(10) yes??}
🌙 P.M. LUKE 15:1-10
1 - Now the tax collectors (tax collectors for Imperial Rome.. so not very well liked) and notorious sinners were drawing near to listen to him. 2 So the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and even eats with them!”
3 So he told them this parable, 4 “What one of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one, doesn’t leave the ninety-nine in the field, and go after the one that’s lost until he finds it? 5 And when he’s found it, he rejoices and he carries it home on his shoulders! 6 And when he’s home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I’ve found my lost sheep!’
7 In the same way, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one rebel who turns, than over ninety-nine {so called} righteous ones. 8 Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one, doesn’t light a lamp, sweep the house and look diligently until she finds it? 9 And when she’s found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I’ve found the coin I lost.’ 10 In the same way, I tell you, there’s joy amongst the angels of God over one sinner [hamartōlós - missing the mark] who repents.” {Don’t forget, the Pharisees/leaders, more political than religious/devout, were robbing widow’s houses, so wolves in sheep’s clothing.}
Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.
have a good day! ☀️🕊️
